America Second
It seems that the agenda of Donald Trump’s second term is guided by a new slogan: America Second. The campaign to eliminate U.S.A.I.D. and efforts to undermine scientific research have allowed China to move into the #1 position among nations. Chinese leaders, unlike the current US president, recognize the nationalistic benefits of aid to foreign nations and achievements in science. These Chinese authorities must be pleased to see the US relinquish its world leadership.
